We are looking for a highly motivated and dynamic postdoc for a 18 months position commencing 1 March 2024 or as soon as possible hereafter. The successful candidate will develop novel on-demand turn-on fluorophores for image guide surgery purposes based on bioorthogonal chemistry. The novel probes will be synthesized via modern medicinal chemistry approaches using for example rational drug design. The probes will be radiolabelled with fluorine-18 to facilitate in vivo evaluations before the on-demand turn-on fluorophores will be evaluated for image guide surgery in collaboration with Prof. Andreas Kjær´s lab.
Our research
The Herth group´s research focusses on the development of pretargeted strategies based on the tetrazine ligation. The group consist currently of 10 members (4 PostDocs, 3 PhDs, and 3 Master students).
Your job
On-demand fluorophore activation is a tool in chemical biology for investigating subcellular structures and dynamics. The tetrazine (Tz) ligation has become a staple in this regard due to its rapid kinetics and high turn-on ratios. This is achieved by utilizing Förster resonance energy transfer-based quenching from the fluorophores to the Tz moiety, which is lost upon the ligation. Due to the inherent properties of the Tz, a rapid drop-off in turn-on ratios for redshifted fluorophores with emission wavelengths of 710 nm was observed. This makes Tzs unsuitable for quenching fluorophores in the near infrared region (NIR) ( 800 nm). As these wavelengths have typically to be used in vivo to achieve sufficient tissue penetration, this leaves a huge gap in translating this concept into humans. The aim of this project is to overcome these limitations and develop an instant click and release Tz, which lead to unprecedented turn-on ratios for NIR-dyes. The successful candidate will synthesize and characterise these probes, radiolabel them and provide respective agents for evaluation purposes to Prof. Andreas Kjær´s lab.
